The man known as Suspect 2 evaded police after a car chase and shootout that killed Suspect 1. Here, authorities believe, is his photo via a 7-11 security camera snap from earlier this evening:
SWAT teams are coming the area as bomb squads clear the street of explosive devices that suspects threw at police during the car chase.
“We believe this to be a terrorist," Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis said. "We believe this to be a man who has come here to kill people. We need to get him in custody.”
NBC's Pete Williams reports that "authorities say [the suspects] came from overseas... had overseas military training... been here about a year."
